2008-04-08b43: Add more N-PHY stuffMichael Buesch
This adds some minor stuff for N-PHY support. Nothing special. Adds Analog switching and some TODOs for RSSI processing. Just a patch I had floating around for quite some time now. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-04-08b43: Add PIO support for PCMCIA devicesMichael Buesch
This adds PIO support back (D'oh!) for PCMCIA devices. This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work and we get reasonable performance out of it on a modern machine. On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX. So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that). The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100% CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt. PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with the braindead DMA mechanisms on PCMCIA sockets. Additionally, not all PCMCIA sockets do actually support DMA in 16bit mode (mine doesn't). Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-03-07b43: Add QOS supportMichael Buesch
This adds QOS support to the b43 driver. QOS can be disabled on driver level with a module parameter for debugging purposes. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-01-31b43: Drop packets that we are not able to encryptMichael Buesch
We must not transmit packets we're not able to encrypt. This fixes a bug where in a tiny timeframe after machine resume packets can get sent unencrypted and might leak information. This also fixes three small resource leakages I spotted while fixing the security problem. Properly deallocate the DMA slots in any DMA allocation error path.

2008-01-28b43: Add support for new firmwareMichael Buesch
This patch adds support for new firmware. Old firmware is still supported until July 2008. To get new firmware, go to ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/ and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet. That will be fixed later. You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option --unsupported to fwcutter. Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will be released soon.

2008-01-08b43: Fix rxheader channel parsingMichael Buesch
This patch fixes the parsing of the RX data header channel field. The current code parses the header incorrectly and passes a wrong channel number and frequency for each frame to mac80211. The FIXMEs added by this patch don't matter for now as the code where they live won't get executed anyway. They will be fixed later.
